Compiled + ran Nitter in Docker with no errors, yet it always shows "no items found"

Anyone?

Edit: Tried to run the shell script at https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/wiki/Guest-Account-Branch-Deployment but got null output. Did some debugging and it's (only) the last line of the script that doesn't return any output, though it does before it gets sent to jq. I'm guessing something is broken in the onboarding process. Can I just use an oath token/secret from an X dev account instead of a guest account?

Didn't work. Can anyone help? I'd like to run my own instance rather than use someone else's.

The guest account method of using Nitter no longer works. Guest accounts don't exist any more. The only way to use Nitter is to use the credentials of an actual Twitter account.

To set it up, you could check out https://github.com/PrivacyDevel/nitter/ or https://github.com/sekai-soft/guide-nitter-self-hosting/ which are still in development, or you could try the various instructions listed here to see if they still work with what you've already set up.

I tried just creating a guest_accounts.jsonl file with my own oauth credentials instead of using a guest account but that didn't work either - I still get "no items" found always. I'll check out those links and see if that helps, thanks. I've tried the instructions from https://github.com/zedeus/nitter which seem to be the same as https://github.com/PrivacyDevel/nitter - at least the docker containers are the same - not sure if there are other differences.
